Tales from my garden (mostly), currently a USDA zone 8a location in SW Washington on clay loam soil. I favor natives and other plants adapted to my summer dry/winter wet climate; anything that will grow with minimal input from me once established. Though a horticulturist by background and an amateur photographer by inclination, when I'm not thinking about or photographing plants, I'm teaching myself code to become a web developer, and dreaming of life on the Oregon Coast.
